Wow, I just got one of their ads, you really can't miss it. I haven't played online yet, so have they always have these ads?
I really enjoyed this game and gave it a good rating on my site. The online play is pretty seamless, but very fast though. What's all this about full page ads? I never saw any, but perhaps I didn't get into the game far enough.
Here! Dismayed is a very mild term for how I felt when I saw an ad in a game I paid for. Furthermore it isn't an ad about a game made by the company, it's from the publisher!
Like I said in the Terra Noctis thread, this is Bulky Pix's and not the developer's fault. They've now managed to taint both Terra Noctis and Autumn Dynasty. What a shame. I'm going to ask Apple for my money back.
Heya guys, I'm Ian (from Witching Hour/Ravenmark) and the Autumn Dynasty guys are personal friends of mine. I can imagine how annoying the ads are, but do give em a break - it's the publisher's call on the matter.
I don't begrudge the developers for the ads -- I'm sure they're not thrilled with it either. It definitely makes me think twice before buying another game from Bulky Pix, though.
Thanks Tebius and Soldat7 for helping us explain this! Dream, Kin and Marcus70, we're really sorry about the ads, and we've spoken to Bulkypix, and they've let us remove the ads in the latest 1.2 patch (along with the other feature requests like zoom and novice difficulty). This patch has been waiting for approval from Apple for more than a week, so it should be arriving any day now. Bulkypix uses Bulkychannel as their main cross promotion tool: technically, the ads are shared between all games in order to drive visibility (sort of like being in an advertising ring). We don't earn anything from this at all, plus the Bulkychannel was a hassle to insert and totally out of sync with our art style. We thought the ad ring thing might help with visibility, but on hindsight, I think this was one of our worst choices. I just hope the new patch comes out soon, so that the ads will be gone for good. My apologies again!
Yeah. Good news. Thank you for ate statement. I really enjoy the game and the only two things missing for me are a save feature und better / more zoom abilities.
My collection of hints and strategies is growing. Please have a look. http://www.facebook.com/groups/437748329582798/
